Richie:
A lot of people who have had this on various model MBs in the past have mentioned: replacing slip rings in the steering wheel for the air bag contact; checking the battery for low voltage; and checking the seat belts connector and switches to make sure the circuit is complete when buckled. A more thorough search than I performed may turn up more possibilities.
